Brad- P 30 It went about how I expected it to go. Had a 4x before the start from being run into during the pace laps. Was collected in multiple accidents until the big one ended the night just 45 laps in. 10 cautions in the first 45 laps, I really don’t know what to say anymore.
Thursday Open- NiS – Bristol
Mike- P ended up with 16 X by lap 150 with only 12 seconds damage. It’s kind of ridiculous ended up getting a drive-through penalty eventually let some lapses run top three top four pretty much ended up getting DQ out about 80 to go. That last incident was a code. I was not even 3 feet from the guy.
David – P race control sucks ass, got black flagged after fixing 7 out of 12 minutes and getting back descent speed cause race control couldn’t get people lined up worth shit. Its getting old.

David – P wrecked, a guys block went bad for both of us
Brad- P24 Wreckedagain. Same story, different week. The absurdity on NiS right now is on a crazy level.
Sunday Open- NiS – Darlington
David – P Wrecked out on lap 4
Tony – P5
Joe – p I got wrecked with to much damage on lap 26
Sunday Fixed- NiS – Darlington
Mike- P9- there were seven cautions in the first 50 laps. I was involved in six of them and I had 16 x 50 laps by halfway I was at 24X and had to run the last half of the race with no incidence, but somehow pulled it off and ended up with a P9 attrition was major only 19 cars finished at a 37
Wednesday Open -NiS – Gateway
Mike- P fixed – ended up finishing 21st. I had 24 incident points. I got 12 before last 19 in Rex that were not by doing. Total shit show 12 different cautions. I had admitted to look for damage and that was a mistake and that put me in the back and I lost my track position. Never really could regain it.
Mike- open- p12- pretty much kept it clean, but got messed up in a couple incidents in the end and lost some track position. Was able to get it back most of it and finish P 12 happy with that.
Justin – P wrecked out on the first green white checker running third spin the tires on a restart.
Chris – P wrecked out too much damage we’re done
David – P went the last 20 or 30 laps trying to serve a black flag, but couldn’t. Served it at the end. This race was once again a shit show. First this one guy caused literally the first 5 cautions and took out almost every team mate in the split. Making unsafe moves and unable to hold a line. Later in the race a guy tries to take it 3 wide and fails to stay in the 3rd inside lane, taking me out. Apologizes, ok….but then 2 restarts later does the same kind of shit. I’m fucking sick of this and if iRacing isn’t going to do something about people like this then they really don’t give a shit about the quality of official racing. As long as no one goes about policing themselves, or using bad language, iRacing is happy.
Brad- P22 Not even sure where to begin with this one. Wrecked twice by the same driver that caused four yellows. Overall 19 cautions and a 120 lap race that took over two hours to finish. Ended up 3 laps down driving a half fixed car trying to avoid getting an incident drive through.
Official Series
Formula Vee
Mike– P7 started a dead last 12 out of 12 did the race to get SR ended with zero incidents and finished P7 due to attrition.
P7 started dead last 12 out of 12 zero incidents finish P7 just like the previous race
Start a dead last 12th no incidents finished P2. The leaders piled up coming into the checker and I took advantage from six place up to second.
Start a 10th out of 12 actually raced with everybody and got up to P5 still no incidents
Start a 10th out of 12 and somehow finish P3 still no incident
Mazda cup
Ellis– P qualified 12 finish eighth finish with zero incident
Start at 12 finish ninth again no incident points
Started dead last 12 finished 12 went wide ones had a one incident into the race at 1.97SR almost there
Started dead last 12th made it up to fifth but still got a one X avoiding a wreck in front of me. Ended up gaining .5 SR and made it to 2.47 finally. Mission accomplished.
Gen 4
Ellis – P top split Kansas car 23 out of 25. Two cautions I missed it car was clean. I finished P 11 pretty fun track to run the top. The set is just way too tight though to be any fun. We gotta have a looser set in this car.
Ring Meister
Mike – qualified second was chasing the leader. He hit the brakes extremely in my opinion I went to avoid him and had to hit the wall DNF.
Next race started second fought the leader real hard and finally got by under heavy pressure and went on to win it winner winner chicken dinner career win number 116 super proud to win in the GT three at Ferrari at the ring nords life Green-hell.
started P2 finish P2 leader was fast. He drove away from me easily. He was five seconds a lap faster than me. I’ve run inconsistent 637 and he’s running 632 with the best of 630.
Started third finished third got as high as second actually spun at my myself at one point was still able to finish third.
IMSA
Brad W – P8 (Indy-GT3) Had a rather uneventful race until after pitstops. I had decent pace but not as quick as the top 4. I was running p5 after the stop and running down p4 going into T1. Had a lap car that really should have backed out before the corner but did not. He went in too deep and had to check up. I went to his right only to have p6 take us three wide which crowded me into the lapper and I spun. P6’s excuse was I did not know we were three wide. How he did not see what was going on ahead of him is beyond me. After the spin I was p9 but was able to get one spot over the final laps. Really disappointing result.
League / Hosted Races
Grass Roots Racing
GTP/GT3 League – Indy Sprint Race
Brad W – P5 I did not have the pace of the top 4 so I tried to play the undercut on pitstops but blew the pitroad entry and lost too much time. I’m really enjoying this league and still feel that it has really helped my pace in officials.
Hosted-
Ellis – ran an AI race Nashville super Speedway in the Del Laura IR 18 Indy car. Put the adaptive AI on the highest setting started mid got to the lead by lap six. I’m calling BS on the AI. It’s not strong enough at least thus car at this track.
Pick up car finished P7 race an old friend from the past Roderick Norman, and saw a professional Coke driver Dylan alt finish P9

David – P5, won the not get wrecked out lottery. Did cause an accident on the trioval but wasn’t going to listen to the Carson Hocevar of our Split
Sunday Fixed- NiS – Daytona
Mike- P1 let’s lapse made some really good moves at the end. Everything went perfect. Winner winner chicken dinner career win 115 first NIS win of the year.
Wednesday Open -NiS – Darlington
David – P11, same shit different race, caught up in others stuff. Additionally there was a 8 lap down car, not just running what is car had, but holding faster cars up and even crossing over after a clean pass. This is the bullshit that iRacing should be educating about, if thats what they actually give a shit about. Was 5th, climbed back up to 11th with close to 4 minutes damage.
Brad- P19 I qualified on pole but gave up to faster cars in hopes of catching on a longer run. I made a mistake and turned a driver getting into T1. From then on I managed to get caught up in almost every accident. Had to manage the last half of the race with 16x. Just a bad night.
Thursday Open- NiS – Darlington
Mike- P15- had a fast car I got caught up in a wreck in the first part of the race with seven minutes damage later on in the back half of the race another wreck not my doing went to 17 minutes damage from there just limping it around on the lead lap and got ran over three different times by people that don’t give a crap and had a drive-through penalty P 15.
David – P2! Had a top 5 car. Caution came out right outside the fuel window. I saved just well enough to pass everyone but the leader who had something left and took off the last 3 laps
Official Series
Gen 4
Ellis – P darlington only 10 cars in a single split on Monday night. Pitiful. Got to lead pretty quick started pulling away had a five second gap at one point getting ready to pit on halfway gap was 3.6 seconds to the second place go to adjust my fuel so I have a little bit more for green white checker and as I move the mouse, the screen freezes a little bit and then I plow the wall hard 2X. 8 minutes damage. I can’t even drive it DNF.
Ran again creamed the wall wasn’t too bad this time kept going and finished P7 in top split 24 cars.
Was running about 5th to 7th green flags stop started I pitted right at halfway and then the caution came out about a lap later and I was trapped a lap down for the rest of the race finished P 10 out of 22
A Fixed
Mike. P10- top split I got in a wreck early on when the pack had to go around a lap car and a neck coated with the lap car stayed out anyway no idea how much damage I had but it looked like it was quite a bit after the race hung in there to finish P 10.
Was starting third on a late restart, but the leader sucked and so I didn’t have any opportunities and finished P6
B Fixed
Mike- P 18 got wrecked several times just crawled at home to finish P 18 out of 23
GT3 challenge fixed
Mike- Nordschilfe- wrecked out
League / Hosted Races
Grass Roots Racing
GTP/GT3 League – Hockenheim Sprint Race
William W – P15 – Haven’t driven hockenheim in a long time. Had bad memory from it driving pcup in like S2-2024. However after practice I had found some pace here, and I actually started to like the track. Quali P2, struggled on new tires in the beginning and fell 2s back. Was pulling that gap back when the rain came. I hate rain. Did not practice rain as the forecast was a 14% chance so of course according to iracing that means rain a majority of the race. Leader pit 1 lap before us and that was the play because cold tires and rain are a nightmare. Struggled mightily. Turned the TC up too high and was losing exit speed. Finally got it figured out to run a semi decent rain pace but spun the car about 3 times from touching curbs. Never any damage but fell all the way back to 15. Awful time.
Brad W – P7 I had a decent qualifying spot but bobbled on the start coming out of the last corner. I lost a ton of spots and then the rain came. It has been a while since I raced in the rain but my gosh what a performance hit. FPS went from 140 to 55 at times. I managed to keep it on the track except for one spin early on the wets.

Sunday Open- NiS – Richmond
Joe – wrecked out
Sunday Fixed- NiS – Richmond
Mike- P11- call 5P 28 out of 35 worked my Way up to be as high as P3 was involved in a couple of incidents but nothing too major and kept it fairly clean to finish P 11.
Wednesday Open -NiS – Daytona
Chris – P 19. Went from 6th to 28th after top lane stalled out and was hung out to dry.
David – P 19. Gambled on fuel, and couldn’t make it after the 1st GWC failed to complete. Then just dropped out of the pack after having to go to the back cause i didn’t want to take incidents fighting for 17th at the end when you can’t move forward in this car.
Brad- P10 I had some connection issues early on that forced me to drop to the rear. Once they cleared up it was just a slow drive back to the front. David and I ran together for the second half of the race trying to conserve fuel. When a late yellow came out I came in for fuel and that was enough to survive the 2 GWC that we had. I was pretty conservative as this was my only chance for a start this week. I’ll take a p10 and head on to next week.
Thursday Open- NiS – Daytona
Mike- P ran a conservative race back half of the top 10 basically restarting with 35 to go. I was in the outside and there was a small gap in front of me. The guy in the bottom tried to come up and wasn’t even clear and just wiped out the entire packtoo much damage we’re done.
Chris – P 4. Mike, you watched take it from here. Thanks to you’re tik tok viewers for the support.
Official Series
FIA F4 Americas

Ellis – P Michigan started 14th out of 21 had a longer run towards the end where I faded hard on tires back to 17th I got a late caution with a green light checker and was able to go from 17th to 10th finish P 10
A Fixed
Mike. P11- got my way up to the lead and lead the most laps near the end a green white checker. I was the leader on the outside. I didn’t have a good pushing help and we collapsed and fell back to finish P 11. What are you gonna do? You’re only as good as your pusher.
Started 14 out of 24 top. Got destroyed on lap seven in a large wreck of course I’m the one who can’t drive away totally destroyed and everyone else was able to drive away so I think I finished dead last.
B Fixed
Mike- Daytona qualified ninth out of 25. With two to go I got to the front of the outside. Lane was in a really good position with a run with help but the guy second on the bottom pulled up in front of me. I had nowhere to go ended up, pushing him to the win, finishing P3
Had a good race, ran upfront and led some laps near the end. I made a good move on a late restart from second on the bottom to leading the middle lane, and then some Brad Keselowski style moves blocking both lanes for a bit to hold them off to win career win number 114 winner winner, chicken dinner
Drive to back up the wind but couldn’t do it got in one wreck with seven minutes damage got three minutes of that fixed was kind of in the pack towards the end open for a top 10 but ended up P 14 out of 25

Started at seven didn’t last long. Got wrecked out early
Start at nine went off the track when I broke too late fell to the back and then worked my way back up to finish P9 out of 18
IMSA
Brad W – P3 (GT3 – Road Atlanta) This track has historically been one of my worst tracks. I normally have ok speed but usually wreck the car pushing too hard. I finally put one together completely and walked away with a podium. I really have to credit the time racing in GRR as a help for the officials. I have so much more confidence after running the league race and I think the results are showing it.
P3 (GT3 – VIR) I finished where I started but I never had enough speed to catch the top two. The bigger issue was the SOF spread between Prototype and GT3. A little over 500 less for the prototypes. This made the overtaking by the faster class extremely sketchy. I had some laps where I would lose 2-3 seconds from faster class cars cooking it into the corner and then either spinning out or running off and trying to rejoin. I know that there is only so much that can be done with the car counts but at VIR its rally compounded because of the track.
William W- Atlanta P10, P16, P12, P9
P10 – Running P6 and a guy dives in turn 1 and doesn’t hold his line. Right hooks me. Spin without damage but now 20 seconds behind. Gained a few positions, but P10 finish.
P16 – Disaster of a race. Quali slow around P12, 3 cars lost it each on their own coming out of T10, thought i made it through but of course 1 of them just keeps their foot in the gas, comes across and gets me in the left rear. Spun but no damage. Get going again but one the cars that caused the first wreck has tried to drive his car around the circut with ton of damage and loses it on the front stretch. Not my best moment but thought he was going to continue to cross the track, but he doesn’t hit the brakes until he’s in the middle of the track. Tbone him and take out 4 other cars. 10 min of non required repairs. Of course iRacing stewards see no wrong.
P12 – Running 6th in the middle of the race when 2 GTP try to pass going into 10. One on the far inside body checks the other sending him into me. Gives me 4 minutes of wheel damage. Car didn’t want to turn right which is a problem at Road Atlanta
P9 – Switched to the mustang because I had good testing with it. Finally had a mostly clean race with the exception of a 700IR GTP that is some how in my 3k SOF GT3 split. Clean race, but fast split so I feel like I finished close to where I deserved. Love46 was in this split, finished 5th.
GT Sprint Simucube Series
William W – P17 – Again just atrocious driving standards. Started P17 but was up to P10 by some spins in front and a couple of passes on pace. Then lap 5 P8 lost it coming out of turn 5 and of course doesn’t hit the brakes, I check up for the yellow, and of course no one behind me does. Get spun and wheel damage. Limped around until I could pit. Wasn’t able to make up any spots. P17.
League / Hosted Races
Majors World Series of Asphalt
David = P13 Qualified 24th, 25 made top split. Didn’t have great speed but just took care of my car most of the race and stay out of trouble. Near the end of the race a driver claims to have had an equipment failure, as a result came back up on the track and I plowed into him. It conveniently gave his brother a lucky dog, and this guy was 4 laps down and putting himself in places he shouldn’t have been that late in the race anyway. But I did have a fast repair and held on to bring it in 13th in a tough field.
Grass Roots Racing
GTP/GT3 League – Laguna Seca Sprint Race
William W – P5 – Laguna seca is a track that I’m slow at to begin with and then somehow find pace. Qualified a little slow in P6, messed up last quali lap. Made it to 4th by lap 3 and rode for a while. Jumped P3 in the pits and was catching P2 in the closing laps when I pushed too hard in the corkscrew and spun. Didn’t hit anything but had to make a 3 point turn at the wall. Fell to 6th and got 5th by the finish. Good race but threw away a podium.
Brad W – P10 – This was a mess on my side. Right at the end of practice I got dropped from the server. I made it back in but was only able to get 3 qualifying laps done. So that had me starting mid-field. Well I ended up spinning on lap one from cold tires. I went all the way to the rear. I was able to start making my way back up through the AM class only to spin again and nudge it into the wall coming out of T6. I pitted and took the fast repair. I was able to make some time up and get back to p10 in class but it was a tough night. Not my best track, wish we had been at VIR.
IROC Challenge Series Season 10 brought to you by PRS Rockingham Race 2

I got hands on with the new @iRacing@Nascar25Game today! NASCAR gaming is back baby, even more excited for the release after playing it! It’s worth the wait and more details coming soon! The fans spoke and they listened 🏆 60 fps 👀 pic.twitter.com/GEEKbTjS1E
Hey guys, just catching up on a cpl poddies so I’m a bit late.
Just listening to you guys talking about the Protest System – The biggest issue imo aside from the fact that it’s all kept behind closed doors is that there’s no real consequences for being a dick. Sure you get sat out for a week but is that really a punishment?! I understand from a business point of view that it might not be the smartest thing to start sitting out people for months at a time as I’m sure they will just end up leaving. HOWEVER, if it really is about teaching and learning from the moment, then why not bring in a system where the perpetrators must suffer a real consequence and prove themselves before getting back to the real racing?!
So my idea is sort of dishing out a Probationary licence which can vary in different grades depending on the severity or regularity of repeat offenders. This way they still have access to the service but are forced to learn from their mistakes before given the full licence back.
For example something like for a light offence you must complete 2 Rookie races with a maximum of 5 or 6 X’s per race. This will allow for someone running into them but at the same time force them to think about their race craft so as not to cause any extra X’s themselves. For more severe cases and especially repeat offenders they can be handed a “Practice only” Probationary license where they must complete a given number of minimum HOURS and laps before being back allowed to race in officials.

kris@signalcraftstudio.com Tue, Aug 12, 10:54 AM (22 hours ago) to Iracerslounge
I’m Kris Randall from your Discord community, and I recently started SignalCraft Studio here in Austin, Texas. We’re a veteran-owned company specializing in PC builds, podcast studio setups, home music studios, and full sim rig builds and setups and general consulting. As someone who’s passionate about sim racing and the community, I wanted to create a business that could help fellow racers get the most out of their setups. It’s just me, so I’m a one man shop.
Kyle – P10 had a sloppy start to the race. Started P9 and picked off a few spots in the first 3 laps and then avoiding a wreck I lost the car and slammed the left side again. Pitted instantly to avoid driving with damage and being slow.. 12 seconds of damage and I was back to speed. I came out 29th and just rocketed my way through cars. Pitted on lap 29 and came out just in front of the leader but my tires were too cold to hold him off so I just matched his lap times staying a half a second off his bumper. Finally with about 8 to go we started catching traffic so I backed off to let him split the cars up and then I pounced on 5 spots in 2 laps and just drove away to finish P10. I’ll take the 0x with a SR gain and the IR gain.
Sunday Open- NiS – Watkins Glen
Tom – P7
Kyle – P5 started P7 and just ran the piss out of the front tires for 27 laps and had made it to P3. Pitted and just held on for the rest of the race. Half spun into turn 1 and lost a couple of spots to bring it home P5.
Sunday Fixed- NiS – Watkins Glen
Kyle – P8 Started P7 and just hung around the top 10 all race. Midway lap car decided he didn’t want to give in and took my line into the bus stop so I dove through the grass and he doored me causing a small amount of damage and then claimed he didn’t know I was there. Guess his spotter was on a pee break. Coming to 1 to go, the crew chief says pit now and I had less than a lap of fuel left. Decided to stay out and just had to baby it around to save fuel. Turn 10 it sputters and by the end of turn 11 I had to coast to the finish.
Wednesday Open -NiS – Richmond
Kyle – P Wrecked. The car was great was playing the halfway strategy and just bounced back and forth through the field. On my last restart I got collected in a wreck and had over 10 minutes of damage. I’m one and done at Richmond. Can’t stand the nonstop cautions.
Chris – P 26. Got loose and wrecked myself. 18 cautions… rough night.
David – P11. Started in the pits, immediate caution put me a lap down, piddled around a half a lap behind the pack for the first 100 laps, and got the lucky dog. At some point I worked into the top 10. Running 6 on a late restart and got straight left hooked while being all the way up against the wall. Limp home 11th cause so many other cars were worse off. This racing is beyond trash, but you can protest saying fuck, but can’t protest guys who race like fucks.
Brad- P15 Started p9 and drove up to the front early. Was collected in a wreck about half way and had to fight back from a lap down and get damage fixed. The race was a total disaster in regards to race craft, 21 yellows for 87 laps. As the laps were winding down I was back in the top 10 and making my way back to the front. Last restart I was able to drive to p2 and just after taking the white flag, I was disconnected from the server. What a waste of 2.5 hours. So defeated and frustrated. If it could go wrong this season, it has.
Thursday Open- NiS – Richmond
Mike- P wrecked out got involved in one of the mini cautions with three minutes damage was able to get almost all of it fixed before I eventually spun by myself causing caution got tagged several times and it killed the car DNF.
Official Series
Gen 4
Ellis – P car number 10 out of 16 at Dover start a 12. A clean race no cautions at all green flag stop at halfway where I blew a right front and I was able to bring it home p9
Had a good run I pinned on an early caution and no one else did didn’t catch any other cautions let some laps, what I needed to blew a tire with three to go pitted on the white but still finished P4
A Open
Brad W – P14 I spun during qualifying and started at the back. Again, another race with no race craft. I was collected in multiple wrecks and did nothing but rack up incident points. Was able to work way to the front and raced the last 50 laps with 16x and 1x away from a drive through. Last lap running in p6, turn 3 p4 sends it from about 10 cars back and hits me and spins himself out and that gives me a drive through and I get out to last on the lead lap. You just can’t make this stuff up. If there is a way out of my control to have a good run ruined, it is happening to me.
C Open
Kyle P6 – Watkins Glen started P10. I decided to go with strategy and save fuel for a handful of laps. Saved enough which saved my tires to not have to pit and after about 7 laps of falling to the back and saving fuel. I hammered down and just ran hot laps for the rest of the race. Working my way up to the front I see an old friend and decide that’s my goal to beat him. After about 4 laps of tracking him down it took 2 laps to get around him and set sail for the finish. 1st-6th didn’t pit and it looks like that was the right strategy to get a good finish. Watkins Glen was good to me this week. I think this might be my favorite road course.
Ring Meister
Mike – P SRF started P2 went into the grass trying to pass. Somebody fell back to 13th and rallied back to finish ninth with a classic game of chicken at the end and we both wrecked out. Basically it was super fun.
Ran again, started second fell back to seventh ended up getting squeezed off and a tight corner and wrecked.
Start a P2 finish P4 had nothing for the top three they were faster
Then we switched to pro Mazda at the ring start at eight finish p seven.
Started at 11th out of 22 getting wrecked out and the first lap ended up launching over a curb trying to miss a different wreck and killed my car DNF
Was running fifth had a spin when someone ahead of me had spun save the car work my way back up and come into the checker. The guy behind me tried to overtake me on the final breaking, but missed the breaking point went across the grass and plowed me hard DNF about 50 yards from the finish line.
Next race qualified fifth finish ninth we finally finish but I did get wrecked with the car was OK so I was able to finish saw a massive unsafe rejoin. The guy was in the grass. Two of us were coming up the hill. He comes straight across the entire track right in front of us and get T-bone by one guy I barely missed.
Start a 10th finish 12 straightforward race.
IMSA
Brad W – P4. This was a good race. No major issue and had a good time trying to run down p3 towards the end. Somehow managed to only pick 2x over the entire race. I wish I could have run more of them but time was tight last week.
William W- Daytona P2,P2, P2, P2, P11, P8 – won’t talk about all of them or we’d be here an hour. The P2s were all good races but nothing out of the ordinary. Qualified around 2-5 for all of them and kept it consistent. Just couldn’t get over the hump for a win. Close on some, others the P1 was just way faster. The P11 I messed up qualifying. Spun lap 1 and lap 2 was .5 a lap slower that I had been all week on lap 2. Started 16th which put me in the middle of the messiest split I’ve seen in some time for all 3 classes. GT3 crashed before the line. Made it through but got some damage that cost some time on the oval portion. On about lap 9 place in front of me chopped my nose and spun himself, would have been fine but an oblivious GTP behind us never hit the brake. Spun me and caused wheel damage. Pit and fixed 4.5 min of repairs and still was able to finish 11th. Would have been 9th but had to splash fuel on the last lap. Proud of the P8. First time truly in top split IMSA with the exception of single split weeks. SOF of 3800. There were a couple aliens up front that were .5 a lap faster, but overall held my own in the 2.8-4k range. Tried real hard for 7th but good defending from him.
League / Hosted Races
Grass Roots Racing
GTP/GT3 League – Road Atlanta Sprint Race
William W – P Last. Hardware failure on lap 8. Started dropping frames as soon as the green flag dropped after not having issues at all during 40 min of practice, 10 min of qualifying and another race previously. Caused an off track on lap 2. And then on 8 frames dropped to 10. Undriveable. Just tried to get off the track and out of peoples way and parked it. Not the way I was looking for my favorite track to go, but seemingly having more and more issues since the season 2 update. My overnight stints at Spa had issues with frames and so did a previous league race. Wiped the computer and seems to have helped but still not as smooth as it should be. Starting to get real old from the client.
Brad W – P6 overall and p5 in class. This has historically been a horrible track for me. I normally have decent pace but just have struggled to finish. The racing in this league is so good. We had 42 cars on track and everyone was really respectful all race long. I started toward the front and was able to stay in top 7-8 all race. Planning to get a couple officials in this week but they are a lot warmer temps than what GRR ran.
IROC Challenge Series Season 10 Daytona Race 1
Kyle P4 started P19 Started out like most super speedways just clicking off laps. Got involved in a midway wreck collected by TJ Majors. After using my 1 quick repair I was back on the hunt for the front. On the last caution we went green with 4 to go and I just stayed glued to the car in front of me. Until the last lap turn 2 I darted out and got a big run and jumped to 4th. Coming to the line, the top 5 spread out and I’m gaining quickly on the top 3 but just ran out of track to bring it home P4.
Sim Gaming Expo Semifinal
Brad W – P was wrecked out. I don’t think I had any chance to advance but really hated to get taken out after just 10 minutes of racing. The cars ahead of me really messed up coming out of the LeMans chicane. That gave me a great run and I had to shoot the middle to avoid hitting. The guy on the inside just decided to turn right and go up the track and take me and another driver out. One of the most stupid moves I’ve ever seen. That move took about 4 cars out. It would have been great to finish the race at least.
Greg- wrecked out
David – P21 – these guys were stupid fast
Mike P18 – started tail NP 25 had a very clean race no mistakes no nothing got as high as P 17 and finished P 18.
Hosted-
Ellis – Del Laura Dash at Talladega start at seven ended up winning winner winner chicken dinner made a great move up the middle to get my final track position
87’s at Talladega got wrecked out on the White fighting for the win. One of the admin was involved and thought I caused it and actually black flagged me. I spoke up saying I actually got hit from behind so the next race I actually got a nice apology.
Supercars at Michigan got wrecked out while leading. Had come from the back.

Brad- P14. Started p6 and was in a very good spot for a good night until the yellow came out in the middle of green flag pit stops. This trapped all cars but 17 either 1 or 2 laps down. Was able to run a bit longer than some and made up ground as the race was finishing but was never ever to get back on the lead lap. Oh what could have been.
Kyle – P14 Qualified 15th and just drove my way to the top 10 passing brad but then faded backwards. Dropped to 16th and just drove around until a driver decided he was going to drive through me because he had just gotten fresh tires. Unfortunately it trapped brad a lap down but I will let him tell his story. Drove around the top 10 most of the race and pitted with 20 to go. Came out and just started picking off spots and trying to get back to the lead lap. Just ran out of laps on a really long green flag run and made it back to 14th for the finish.
Sunday Open- NiS – Iowa
David – P wrecked out at end by unavoidable. BUt hte race craft just continues to be shit, getting close to quitting NiS again.
Sunday Fixed- NiS – Iowa
Mike- P3- had a great run really ran top five top 10 all day stayed out of trouble. Miss the racks had good tire strategy at the end but just not enough track position. I couldn’t really get the first and second on those final restarts but happy to bring home a podium finish P3
Tom – P wrecked out
Wednesday Open -NiS – Watkins Glen
Kyle – P19 Started P13. Car was fast and on rails. Worked up to P4 and was running down P3 half a second back and P3 gets out of shape in the bus stop and I tried to avoid him but in doing so I lost control and smacked the left side on the wall. Ran another 11 laps hurt and could just feel the left front was done for. Pitted on lap 20 and repaired almost 2 minutes of damage came out P27 and just picked off spots as I could. It sucks to be so fast and knowing I can compete for a top 5 and yet I have to just ride around 2 laps down. Onto friday night NIS to redeem myself.
Brad- P23 after starting p23 in top split. I should have been in the mid-teens but made too many mistakes throughout that race. Careless spins and lockups never allowed me to get back by drivers that were slower. I have said it before, it does not matter what car I drive , I just don’t race well at The Glen.
Thursday Open- NiS – Watkins Glen
Mike- P6 qualified P5. Lap three I go through the bus stop and get too close to the grass going over the curb. It launches me and the car bottoms out and spins out. I couldn’t get back going without letting everybody go by to avoid an unsafe rejoined blended back in 23rd and then drove up to P7 before pit stop started at halfway after stops and got to the end. I finished as P6. Great recovery.

Indianapolis motor Speedway started 22nd out of 30 finished P 17 at some .44. The guy in front of me coming up off too didn’t go and I actually ran over him and got a bunch of front end damage.
Ring Meister
Mike – qualified on Paul this time I drove the Ferrari bottom split. Was able to finish P3 after a good battle at the end with a game of chicken on who’s gonna break first at the end of the long straight he ended up hitting me and getting by I was in second at a time.
Then pull position again it was able to keep it and actually pull a gap to win it by over 11 seconds winner winner chicken dinner!
Then started third ended up getting wrecked out going up the hill.
Then started fourth went off a few times never wrecked the car though and was able to recover to seventh from 10th
Monday night we switched to the spec racer. Ford started first and wrecked in like corner number three. I don’t know how to stop this thing.
IMSA
William W- P2 Daytona. Started P3 but messed up my second quali lap or could have had pole. Fell to P4 on the start and got moved out of the way in turn 1 on the second lap by a merc who shouldn’t be racing at this level. He then proceeded to park it in every apex because he was not faster. Fell to P7 at one point. Got to 6th by a spin, passed The aforementioned Merc when he over cooked it fighting P5 acura, got past the acura next lap, and then the merc proceeds to kill them both. Dodged a bullet there. Got 4th in the pits and got P2 and 3 on pace. Closed the 10 second gap to the leader to 1 second in the last 7 laps, but just lost too much time fighting those guys early. Good result. Will do a lot more of these before track changes on Monday.
League / Hosted Races
Grass Roots Racing
GTP/GT3 League – Daytona Endurance Race
William W – P7. Started dead last because of work. Literally got into the sim with 45 seconds left to grid. Had to fight from P30 all the way up. Got to P6 by the first pit stop but didn’t register in my brain that my stall would probably be early. Blew it by like 6, got lucky didn’t get DQ with the back up, lost to 12th by the time I came out. Got back up to 7th by the next stop, passed Will for 6th and probably could have gotten 5th but self spun coming out of the bus stop pushing too hard. Luckily not much damage. Fell to 9th, recovered to 7th for finish. I love my job, but sometimes it really sucks. This was a track I could definitely have pushed for the win on pace. Was a great drive through the field, but man what could have been.
Brad W – P spun out and quit. I qualified up front but contact with the rear of a car in front of me coming through T6 caused me to spin out. I watched the entire field come by before being able to get going. From then on I was driving very aggressively trying to make up time but having to be careful with slower cars not in my class. Ended up having some that were just determined to race me, not sure why but I ended up spinning again in T6 and decided to park it. There was no chance for points and it was the perfect ending to one of the worst days at work in some time.

Brad- P Wrecked Out Lap 2. Had the oddest wreck coming off of T2. I had a run on the car ahead and I pulled to drivers left coming off the corner and the car just broke loose and spun into the outside wall. I really can’t explain it.
Kyle – P15 track temp was hot and so was my temper. Couldn’t keep the backend of the car in the right direction off of 4 and couldn’t get slowed down enough for turn 3. Was able to avoid the mess of all the wrecks. Wanted to bring home a win at my home track. Maybe next year?
Sunday Open- NiS – Indy
David – P3, flipped track position with pit strat
Kyle – P11 started P10. Car felt great even on a long run. Restarts were wild. Got collected in a restart wreck that required about 30 seconds of repairs and then I had to march back to the front. To bring it home P11.
Wednesday Open -NiS – Iowa
Kyle – P4 Started P6 car was great fell back to 12th when I half spun but worked back up to the front during a 67 lap run. Restarted P2 with 3 to go. Would of been a P2 finish but I over drove turn 3 on the last lap and lost 2 spots.
Chris – P 6. Cautions came out hot and heavy. Used ChatGPT to crew chief me. Took 2 tires with 3 to go starting P10. There was a wreck every GWC, ended under yellow P6. Should be 4th but cars that wrecked got their spot back. Good run for the championship. Big thanks to our sponsors: Waldron’s Furniture, iRacers Lounge, Premier Setups, and Sim Wraps — keeping us fast, smart, and looking sharp all season long.”
David – p22, got straight dumped, guy claims there was a gap, was no gap he just hit my rear bumper
Brad- P24 after starting p5. I tried to pace myself early on and save tires. I was running in the top 10 till getting off on the pit cycle. I was working my way back toward the front when a car head spun to the inside in T3. I went to pass him high and he hit a car on his inside and came back up into the racing line. Almost 9 minutes of damage. Sat and got all repaired just to save SR. The iRating slide continues….2k bound it seems.
Thursday Open- NiS – Iowa
Mike- P9 two or three cars wrecked on the pace lap from a guy scrubbing his tires and spinning out and wiping out the outside Lane. Had a pretty good run with green flag stops, was caught a lap down after that but the caution came out, took the wave around and got another quick caution got dumped running in the top eight near the end but was able to recover back due to several late cautions to finish P9.

Ellis – P20- at Talladega got near the front, but didn’t have good moves and ended up getting involved in other people’s big racks and finished P 20
Top split Sunday night had a great run going and got in a wreck two minutes damage. The engine wouldn’t go over 140 miles an hour when I fix the two minutes it was perfectly fine. It was really weird but recovered from that was able to lead laps, including right near the end. I was dumped while leading finished P 22.
Had a great race go on top split was second coming to the white I went to go up and around the leader and he went to block and took us both out. Finished P 16.
Finish P 14 out a P 16 got involved in it. Another person‘s rack couldn’t miss it. Eight minutes damage had to limp at home.
A Open
Brad W – P18 (Iowa) Started p6 and was doing ok till getting loose off of T4. Popped teh wall and had 2 minutes of damage. Was able to get all but 30 seconds fixed. The race came down to GWC and I was in a good spot to salvage a p10-12 spot. Only to get collected in a wreck. I’m really struggling to find enjoyment right now.
B Open
Kyle – P13 Some of the most fun you can have in a car. The car was a blast to drive especially when the whole race goes green and you get to do green flag pit stops. Started P14 and just ran all 60 laps as consistently as possible. This car really should get its own half length official races. And no I didn’t Austin Hill anyone.
Ring Meister
Mike – qualified 16 out of 27GT3Z the Nunberg ring. Got wrecked out pretty early.
Qualified before the x-ray and ended up on pole position starting first out of 30 but but out while leading about a quarter way into the lap held my break almost every single car got around me in the last guy to come by clips me and gives me heavy damage
Started second, but wrecked out in one of the first corners by hitting the turtles and put it in the wall
Try again, sharded second made it about a quarter lap before I went off track and killed the car

GTP/GT3 League – Silverstone Sprint Race
William W – P7. Botched quali so had a tough road ahead of me. On lap 2 in turn 3 there was a huge stack up and I got damage from hitting the car in front. Was running 6th at the time, but that really hurt on the straights. Let brad by for 6th because he was faster and pit as soon as I could to get the damage fixed. Came out about 6 seconds behind brad after it cycled and ran him down the last 2 laps, but couldn’t get the pass done. Don’t hate the track, but not my favorite.
Brad W – P6 Did not have a great qualifying session so started mid teens. Was able to gain a bunch of spots on the start. Had a great battle with William early on that we would resume as the race was ending. I was very excited to see this track on the schedule for IMSA this season but it was changed to the Bend after the update. Felt more like a GT3 race than multiclass racing. I can’t believe I’m going to say it but we need some GTP drivers.
KCE Racing League
Donnie S – Sunday Night Truck Series – Iowa – Started P13, Finished P13. I had a good strategy going until I self spun off of four during final stops putting me a lap down. Turn four was especially difficult throughout the race.

As it has with several other events in recent years, iRacing helped NASCAR design the track that will be built for the race. A handful of drivers have already tested the virtual track on the iRacing digital platform. Grandstands, suites and general-admission areas will be set up.
Scanned the base several months ago… (7 minute mark) – Already have track model built out. Have had drivers on it…. Looking at bumps and such… Its a great collabative process… To have a partner like iracing where we can dream up these concepts years in advanced, they can use thier system to build out these tracks, which have a lot of validity behind them, and to put real drivers on it and test it real time to give us feedback, kudos to them.
Why is iRacing dominating the sim racing world in 2025? It’s not because of the graphics. It’s not even because of the physics. In this video, I break down the real reasons iRacing continues to lead the pack — from its addicting ranking system and nonstop competition, to the convenience that keeps racers coming back.
We’ll talk about:
✅ Why iRacing feels like the “Netflix of sim racing”
✅ How iRating turns races into obsession
✅ Why other sims still can’t compete — even with better visuals
✅ And whether it’s all actually worth the price tag

David – P dnf, tire blew with 7 laps to go, then I sped, then I stopped in the pits and exited
Tony -P34 self spun out of 4 10 laps in. Yup on par on how my last 3 years in nis has been
Brad- P Last. Popped RF tire on the first run. Trying to get to pitroad I hit the barrels and got the dreaded “Too much damage, we’re done.” Really disappointing week at Dover.
Sunday Open- NiS – Dover
David – P 9, caution came out trapping me a lap down and playing to the advantage of guys who ran their tires longer instead of splitting the stints.
Tony – P14 tried staying out of trouble. Avoided a couple of wrecks but one of em had me dodge a car and into the wall. Tried getting damage fixed and was wanting to go a lap down to get get more and ended up leaving pit road just ahead of the leaders on the restart… ( needs to be 4 laps not 3 for any track thats under mile and ½) long run to end so never got laps back
Kyle – P7 Started P9 and just ran a top 5 race for the most of the first half of the race. Couldn’t keep tires on it to hold a top 5 finishing spot. Lap 131 Driver decides to try and get under me in turn 2 and just drove through me and I fell back to 16th. Quickly came up through the field and just hung around the 7th position until the end of the race.
Sunday Fixed- NiS – Dover
Mike- P3- had a good run going. I even led some laps at one point caused caution by myself, spitting out while racing for the lead. Was able to recover and finish P3 on the final stop. I took tires a few others didn’t they won and I didn’t great run, however will take the podium.
Wednesday Open -NiS – Indy
David – P10 dirty first half, green for last 60 laps or so, wasn’t fast, just consistent
Bobby – P was running after fixing 8 minutes of damage, internet failed
Thursday Open- NiS – Indy
Mike- P2- 21 cautions four hours kept it clean somehow ran top five most of the race was leading with 25 to go leading holding a gap if it would’ve stayed green, I had it one for sure but we got a caution for green white checkers on the first restart. The guy drove it in there deep on the apron and I gave him enough room so he didn’t kill us and he took the spot and I could never recoverP2
Bobby – P wrecked out

Ellis – P had a pretty clean race got to the lead at one point but hit the wall just a few too many times to really contend with the leader and so I finished P2
Top split started 12 worked my Way forward was gonna finish ninth but on the last lap, a few others wrecked and I ended up finishing a nice P6.
Qualified six top split pretty uneventful Reyes finished P5
Qualified third the leader started for the pitch so I ended up on Paul lead a few laps put on lap 12 ended up losing some track position then I ended up shorting on the long run everybody else, but I did a fuel only like a fool and it didn’t work out and I finished P8
Switching to Talladega. Let a smart race kept myself. Patient made good moves. Avoided some racks near the end at a restart went from 7th to 1st for the late caution to come out and then held it from there to win the race. Winner winner, chicken dinner.
Qualified nine out of 26 wrote around in the top five basically most of the race let a few laps was pretty much in a good position near the end, but made one bad move to pull up in front of the second lane and they split me and just couldn’t fully recover from that mistake but still got up to P5
Then P 13. No cautions early and we ended up with green flag stops a group Short pit at everybody. They ended up with a big lead. We finally caught a caution restarted that late caution seventh was able to position myself to be in third place on the white with help from behind we had a huge run coming. We were gonna blow right by him. He was pushing me through the corner and I got turned off his nose and dumped basically and he went on the win.
Had a good race going on let some laps near the end. Was in the middle of a three wide and the guys on the outside got a run and they were coming down but the second or third car back wasn’t clear and just cleared himself off my nose and wrecked the field. Four minutes damage I finish P 22.
Got wrecked out on lap 15 real bad blew up the entire right front of the car.
A Open
Brad W – P8 (Indy) Started p13 and just tried to keep it clean. We only had one caution and that was just before halfway. Extremely hard to pass so track position is at a premium. Qualify and defend early on.
IMSA
Brad W – P5 (GT3-Interlagos) Definitely felt the benefit from running the GRR race here earlier in the week. The Merc had good pace and I was able to drive with more confidence at the start.
GT Sprint Simucube Series
Brad – P11 (VIR) Gave a top 5 away with a pit error. Started p14 and drove up into the top 6 before pitting. Thought for certain that I had cleared my tires but nope. Extremely frustrating to throw a great finish away.
Indycar iRacing Series
Kyle P- P2 Indy cars at Kansas80 laps of green flag racing and green flag pit stops. Fought the last 15 laps on the bottom 3 wide to squeeze out a P2 narrowly falling to P3 by less then the nose wing. Some of the most fun I’ve had racing since I joined iRacing 5 years ago.
League / Hosted Races
Grass Roots Racing
GTP/GT3 League – Road America Endurance
William W – P3 – Enduro at Road America. One of my favorite tracks and always look forward to coming here. Could have quali on pole, but did not put enough gas in the set and ran out coming to the line. We run 60% to force a second stop. Took tires during the second instead of the first and that was probably the wrong decision. Came into the pits 2 seconds behind first, and by the time I got my tires warm I was 6s down. Ran P2 down but could not make the pass. Disappointed in myself. I was much faster but he did an exceptional job defending. Had a run out of the carousel, he defending into canada, I had the pass but got in the debris on the outside and lost the car. Contact and let him have the position as I think it damaged his car. Overall not bad, but could have been better.
Brad W – P8 overall and p7 in class and really good race over all. The fuel limit was interesting because it forced us to pit twice during the 90 minute race. I took tires on second stop and thinking back I think it would have worked out better to do the opposite. The new tires were very hard to get heat into them with the rubbered up track. Definitely something to think about for the next one.
Hosted-
Ellis – supercars at Michigan came from the back to lead the most laps that got wrecked out coming into the white
87 at Talladega started near the back worked my way forward and finished the race P one winner winner, chicken dinner. It wasn’t too pretty. I was on the bottom. I came up a little bit. He came down to the middle. It was a net code about a foot in between us, but he’s fine and the entire field wrecked besides me so I won the race

David – P9. started from pits, but caution early. In a run later I start trying to cautiously move forward, but get loose and because I loose velocity on exit the person behind can’t help but hit me. Then the race goes through a shit show phase, and of course I get hit by a arca braker and then other just self spinner, up to 14x. I drop on the next start nearly a half a lap back, and we get a very long run, was able to start picking off all the way up to 5th before green flag pitting. Caution with 50 to go, upset cause I don’t feel safe with 14x, but manage to stay clear of the wrecks and bring it home 9th.
Kyle – P4 after 3 weeks of dropping IR and SR like a rock. I walk away with a solid top 5. Started P16 and just worked my way up quickly through the field. Stayed top 5 for the first half of the race and then we went on a 94 lap run. After 90 laps on the run the meatball showed up and I needed a Right Front. Got 4 tires and some fuel and just started picking off cars. Caution comes out with 2 to go and the GWC happens. Cycled around the pace car to restart in the back but in P6. On the restart I went to the High Line and just let her eat. Picked off P5 quickly and started hunting down P4. 1 to go on the back stretch, I’m door to do with P4 and he goes high and his tires were too far gone and he nails the outside wall out of 4 and I cruise to a P4. Sadly I’m just as excited about a P4 as if I would if I won the race.
Chris – Chris – P13. Got stuck two laps down when the caution came out before the leader had pitted, trapping the field a lap down. Later, another caution came, and for some reason, there was no wave-around — even though the leaders had pitted and all cars ahead were a lap down. Still… P13 – 3 laps down. I’ll take it.
Brad- P15 Started p12. Was wrecked on the pace lap (you know who you are). Then wrecked after being taken three wide twice before 10 laps. Was able to get some damage fixed but the car never had pace after that. I was so tight and no matter what I changed the car would not free up. Ended up losing a lap but managed to finish p15. Looking for a better run on Friday.
Thursday Open- NiS – Dover
Mike- Pdnf- was pretty fast top 10 but then I got in an incident with about five minutes damage and then we had a long green run with green flag stops lost a lap eventually got my lap back with a wave around and. But more wrecks was running ninth on the lead lap near the end when I’m sitting at 16 X and going around under caution some guy is on the apron trying to drive straight up onto the banking as cars go by and somehow I didn’t see him and ran into him And blew the motor
David – P24, caught in early wreck 13 minutes damage, had to fix. Drove around for safety rating and 10 other cars dnf’ed
Official Series
Spa 24 Hours
Brad, Justin, David and Tom P43. The race was really over before it got started. I was collected in an accident in the bus stop on lap 2 that caused over four minutes of damage and cost us two laps. From then we tried hard to battle back but each of us had issues on cold tires and mine was the one that did us in around hour 8. I had lazy spin and minimal contact with the wall but lost the rear wing. The spotter will not alert you of this so I went on and when I got to O’rouge I killed the car. 10 minutes of damage and we were already many laps behind. Tough race and a really challenging track with cold tires especially at night.
William With GRR- P1!!! Split 4 of the 12 EST slot on Saturday. However, we didn’t finish P1 on track. In the race we finished P2 1 lap behind the leader, but they were DQ’d for tanking 2 days after the race. We did not protest them, and only found out last night when I went to look something up about the race. Overall the race went really well. Had a smurf that got karma’d with a DC early, 1.5 seconds faster than the field at 1.8k. Qualified 33, but the guy who went into the car first went from 33 to 9 then to 13 dodging a wreck. Handed me the car in 13. Ran 2 clean stints and handed the car over in 5th. Kinda disappointed in the performance of the sim overall though b/c as soon our 3rd guy got in his game crashes. We lost a lap, went down to 16th, but luckily we were able to get someone else right in the car. Rest of the race spent grinding. I got the car in 3rd the next stint, handed it off in the same place, and at some point we caught and passed. 2nd. Fantastic time, 0 damage for us the whole race which I think is a major reason we had the finish we did.
Gen 4
Ellis – P qualified fifth out of 16 at Homestead 32 drivers with two splits. I don’t get it. Why can’t we just have one split this is NASCAR right?
Qualified second out of 21 basically ran second till around halfway tried to go low on the leader couldn’t hold. It came up into him and wreck both seven minutes damage soldier Dawn to try to finish and finished P9.
Switching to Pocono top split qualified six out of 17. Had a pretty good race ended up finishing P3.
12 out of 25 in top split. Had a good run going and got a stack up where somebody didn’t go on the start and I ran over him had to serve a black flag under green was able to recover from dead last clear up to the lead where everyone pitted with about 12 to go except for me and I stayed out that ended up not working well And I was getting real pushy and fell clear back to P9
Qualified 10 out of 17 top split. Had a good run going up to about round fifth but then I creamed the wall coming out of two real hard 5 1/2 minutes damaged I fixed about three minutes worth of damage stayed on the lead lap and by the end it worked myself up to finish P8.
GT Sprint Simucube Series
Brad – P17 (Spa) iRacing locked up right as qualifying was getting ready to start. By the time I got back in and tried to qualify I did not have enough time. Started P25 and made some progress but never enough speed to get to the front.
League / Hosted Races
Grass Roots Racing
MX5 League
William W- P4. Not much to say other than the mx5 is pretty fun here even if I have a deep hatred for this track
GTP/GT3 League
William W – P6. First off super stoked that Brad has joined us. Hope he has a fantastic time running with us. As far as the race I cannot stand Interlagos, probably my least favorite track on the service, though I do hate it a little less after running it on Tuesday. Royally screwed quali, spun on my first out lap and got damage, had to reset. Set the first slow lap on cold tires, got off tracks on the next two, and then ran out of time up 7 tenths on the last lap. Started P16 and the first 3 laps were insane with so many cars on this track. Thank fully it was very clean. Was able to push through the field. Pit in P7 and was able to get to 6th. Got to 5ths bumper but couldn’t make the pass. Overall I’ll take the result, especially at this track.
Brad W – P8 (Sao Paulo-Interlagos) Got used up in the first few laps. First race with the league so I wanted to give plenty of room. Was able to battle back and get into the top 10. This pace is murder on the tires. Fronts were dead as the race was ending. No forward bite at all. Very competitive group, looking forward to the season.

Also, I wanted to share this tool if anyone is interested. I purchased my computer through Lenovo Advantage.
I was concerned about having the Intel i9 and the 4080 super similar to Brad so the computer builder recommended this free app that monitors all of the internal hardware temps.. I haven’t had any issues.

Tony -P2 this stupid track was pretty much a conga line whole race
Avoided some wrecked and avoided leaders wrecking coming to the checkered for a silver trophy
Brad- P10 Led the second half of the race only to get right hooked from the lead with 8 laps to go. Protest was filed but it was the normal response, as expected.
Wednesday Open -NiS – Chicago
Brad- P3 Ran in p2 for the bulk of the race but as tires were getting sketchy I spun on the last lap and gave up p2. Much better managed race compared to the A Open I did.
Thursday Open- NiS – Chicago
Mike- P5– started his P8 had a pretty uneventful race. Had a lazy spin at one point with a little front end damage, but was able to keep it going only four cars on the lead lap and I finished P4. Second split out of three.
Chris – P took the pole but wrecked out on lap one as the leader
Sunday Open- NiS – Chicago
Greg -P7 type shit here dude 😛
Wednesday Open -NiS – Sonoma Raceway
David – P10 Ran mostly mistake free, though on the front stretch i Knocked my front cowl off. 2 laps down, not fast just stayed on the track.
Chris – Chris – P1 – Started practicing Sunday, studying the pros on YouTube, and shaved 5 seconds off my previous best time. Qualified P2. Dropped to P4 early, but battled back to the front. Took the lead before a mistake sent me off track and back to P2. On Lap 10, the leader slipped up—I pounced, retook the lead, and never looked back. Second career NiS win for the Waldron’s Furniture / iRacers Lounge / Premier Setups / Sim Wraps Chevy!
Brad- P20 Started p23 and never really had pace like I did in practice. This was top split so take it for what it’s worth. Not my favorite track regardless of the car. One and done for me as this helped cover for my horrible luck in the Daytona 500.
Thursday Open- NiS – Sonoma Raceway
Mike- P7-qualified 14th was able to keep it on the pavement basically raced fairly conservative and I was able to bring it home. P7 glad I took tires per Brad‘s instructions as the right front was down to 45%.
Official Series
6 Hrs at the Glen
David & Tom. – p4, Wrecked out of first session on lap 8 unavoidable. Started 11a session, wrecked out on lap 6 in a 30 car pileup coming out of the boot. Realizing so many were taken out we stuck it out and came home 4th. Not enough time to work all the way back up though we had the same pace as the leaders
Donnie, Justin, William & Brad – P9 – Had a rough start getting collected in a lap one wreck heading into the boot. Brad would spin the car getting into the bus stop after contact from the car he was passing. Would drive back up to p10 before turning the car over to Justin. Justin and Donnie did a great job keeping the car clean which allowed William to finish the race and drive from p12 to p9 over the last two hours of the race. Great job by everyone.
Justin, Chris , and Mike. Wrecked out early.
FIA F4 Americas
Mike– P started 20th out of 22 at spa and finish P 19 I kept breaking too late in the final backstretch. I finally figured it out.
M2
Ellis– P ran at the nord slife in the BMW M2. Start 15 out of 27 and end up finishing P 10. Great run.
Got wrecked out, running into another guy who wrecked
Then finally qualified, so it started second. But missed the corner ended up in the grass ended up coming back across the track and wrecking hard. DNF.
Qualified pole position. Got away from everybody and started a gap about halfway through the race. I had a 14 second lead when I made a mistake and went and killed the car meatball DNF.
Gen 4
Ellis – P Sunday night Bristol had 36 entries, but they decide to split it into the two races why it doesn’t make sense. There should be one split. Worked my way forward to run as high as P3. There was a split tire strategy at the end. It wasn’t playing in my favor. I got wrecked for six place with eight minutes damage but it’s only two laps left. I was able to bring it home to finish P4. Great run.
Tuesday, New Hampshire. A true test of the new break holy cow. I have to stand on this thing to stop it. Was running top 10 on a restart. I was P6 in the single file restart and the leader is all stacked up in front of me. I didn’t see any of that we were already going. I drove underneath the guy in front of me as the guy behind me drove underneath me too much damage we’re done.
Tried the very next race qualified P6 out of 27. Got a big wreck at the halfway point but only about a minute and a half damage did not pit for fuel got into another incident later but was somehow able to finish P9.
Ran again Wednesday night. Qualified 4 out of 20. Quickly got to pee too, but eventually finished P5 after a couple of minor incidents.
Then switching to Homestead. Qualified nine out of 27. After a while, I was just riding two cars crash into each other down low on the front but the third one went high. I didn’t see the third one and me and another guy plowed him. DNF.
Q 6 out of 30 cars .. red top five pretty much most of the race at the end didn’t really have anything for the top two but was happy to bring it home with a podium finished to finish P3
Qualified nine out of 23 got my Way to the top three pretty quick there was a split strategy. I was conservative and got tires while making it a two stop race while others stayed out till well. Past halfway to make it a one stop race I ran it out of fuel near the end, leading up the most lapsstop for a splash and go, but all the people on the one stoppers got by me and I ended up coming out P9 and finishing P9.
A Open
Brad W – P14 Chicago- Top split and drove up to p5 but was really over driving the car which led to a bunch of damage. The final was wall contact in turn 2 after a car spun ahead of me and I tried to avoid. Ended up getting 6 minutes of damage fixed and soldiered to a 14th place finish.
IMSA
Brad W – P12 (Watkins-GT3) I’m just not very good at this track. Really struggling with qualifying on the cold tires. The Porshce is so unstable with light fuel, having to start towards the back makes a good finish hard. The race was rather uneventful, managed to keep it relatively clean and finish mid-pack.
P3 (Mosport) Started in the same spot. Had ok pace but never enough to catch p2. Single split madness, 23 GTP, 9 LMP2 and 10 lonely GT3s. Hardley had a minute of clear track.
GT Sprint Simucube Series
Brad – P10 (Spa) Started p13 and made my way up to p5 but was spun early on. Soldiered back to get to p8 but in a last lap battle I spun and fell back to P10.
William W – P3 0X – Had pace for P2 but didn’t push the issue due to PTSD from GT Endurance. Felt really good about Saturday after doing this race. Broke 2500
GT /IMSA Conspit Endurance Series
William W – P30 – Impatience led to 2 incidents in the first 12 laps. Neither were really my fault, but put my car in bad positions and had people turn in on me. 3 min of damage from the second incident put me behind for the rest of the race. Got from 50 something to 30. +1 iRating.
League / Hosted Races
GTP/GT3 League
William W – P4 – Off week between seasons so we did a Spa 24 practice race. 90 min. Ran in the front 3 nose to tail for about 50 min then hit the gas too hard coming out of 14. Half spun the car, no damage but lost 14 seconds. Was able to drive up to 4 seconds behind 2 and 3. Leader won by 12. Exceptional pace in this race, really excited for weekend and normally don’t like spa.
Hosted-
Ellis – Saturday night Chris McGuire hosted ran V8 supercars at Michigan started dead last and somehow someway finish P4 great run
Firecracker 400 qualified 18th out of 41 cars. Made it almost a half a lap before the leaders wreck and take out the entire field too much damage we’re done didn’t even finish one lap. It’s truly the fire crackers zero
Firecracker 400 fixed. Made it to lap 59 before I actually touch the apron got into a spin and the guy behind me. Finished me off nine minutes damage. DNF.
